I want to plant a large sweep of daffodil bulbs in my yard this fall but I don't know who to order from. I have had good success with Brecks but I know somebody else must have large volume of bulbs cheaper. Who have you used or recommend?

I don't know if they're cheaper, but I've heard good things about Brent & Becky's Bulbs.

I used to use Dutch Gardens and was always happy with what I received. Nice good size bulbs.
They have "Estate Collections," large quantities for a reasonable price. The more you buy the cheaper they get.

Stay away from Michigan Bulb company. Their bulbs are tiny.

In my last house (2 acre property ) I ordered bulk from White Flower Farm and their daffodil bulbs were great - good size (some with babies on already), nice varieties and excellent quality. Here's a link:

Good luck!

Keep an eye out for crazy deals. Last year Dutch Gardens had a deal when you bought $25 in product, you received $25 in free product. That included sale items. My mom bought so many bulbs it was unreal.

I got a Brecks catalog in the mail also offering $25 free in product. Anyone used them before?

For quantities of 100 or more:
Van Engelen Wholesale Dutch Flower Bulbs: Tulips, Narcissi, Hyacinth, Crocus, Fritillaria, Allium, Muscari and Lilies

Sister company sells in smaller quantities and has a nice picture catalog.
John Scheepers’ Dutch Flower Bulbs: Tulips, Narcissi, Hyacinth, Crocus, Fritillaria, Allium, Mucari and Lilies

I agree with DubbleT that Dutch Bulbs are good. I have never ordered 100 but have been satisfied with my smaller orders. When one peony didn't come up they sent me a free replacement the following season at planting time.

Also I wouldn't order from Michigan Bulb Company - I don't know how they stay in business their stuff is AWFUL!

I also like White Flower Farm, all my bulbs have come from there.
